He’s being very deliberate. Taking his time. Could be a while guys. Might want to ease up on those refresh buttons.

bmags Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Okay, I feel better. Chris Mortenson and Schefter reporting the negotiations are finalizing. It really may have been as simple as Fox's agent was to busy to work on this at same time as Del Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 @AdamSchefter 7m7 minutes ago John Fox’s deal to become Bears HC is “all but done,” per sources. @JasonPhilCole reported Thursday that Fox would be hired in Chicago. That's pretty official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 16, 2015 -> 03:31 AM) Alright Pace, s*** or get off the pot. I can't be refreshing this page and Twitter all day. I mean I totally will refresh this s*** all day long, but I shouldnt. I'm happy again. I think it is great that Pace and Fox have literally spent two days getting to know each other, etc. I think that is critical in the hiring process as the relationship between the two will be crucial to the Bears long-term success.

We heard all about how critical Pace thought the relationship between himself and the head coach is and it takes more than a few hours to decide that. My guess is over the past two days they've done nothing but bond over football and are both getting comfortable with each other. I would think Fox would have wanted to do the same after what happened in Denver too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ever remember reading anything to do with the Bears and Tebow around the draft. Only time Emery ever even was reported to talk about Tebow was when he denied any interest in signing him after he had been released. He talked about how his intangibles were off the charts but that was it. Never said a nice thing about his football skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Actually, you are right. It was Marc Trestman who loved Tebow. I knew it was one or the other. Couldn't put my finger on it till I read the quotes from Trestman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s already making preparations for taking it (as @JasonPhilCole said) Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 2m2 minutes ago #Bears zeroed in on John Fox from the start, but GM Ryan Pace kept his options open until this morning. In talks with Fox now, as ESPN said Adam Jahns @adamjahns 2m2 minutes ago Chicago, IL Team source confirms that negotiations are going on between #Bears and John Fox. At this point, it's fully expected to get done. David Haugh @DavidHaugh 49s49 seconds ago Source confirms Bears, John Fox deep in negotiations to become next head coach and discussions have been on schedule, in positive direction. Jeff Dickerson @ESPNChiBears 8s8 seconds ago 3 good names to consider for Fox's defensive coordinator: Dennis Allen, Mike Nolan & Mike Smith. #Bears JayGlazer Just spoke to John Fox, still trying to hammer out an agreement with Bears. Incredibly excited to get this done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Its been fun y'all. Excited to hear who the assistants will be and when the press conference will be!! If this counts as the new season, than this season has already been funner than last season, haha. My next prediction, 5 yr 35M (might be 30..but I think he gets a little more than that).

Jenksismyhero Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm in the same boat. Any reason why Dick Labeau wouldn't be considered as the DC? He's got a pretty decent resume... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm warming to it, mostly because of his track record with hiring really good assistants. My hope is that he comes in, gets us to a better state, and if we can't make the next leap (or he decides to retire) then we have a really good assistant waiting to be promoted.
